Oh, Bono, my bags... .

A French Polynesian atoll once owned by the late MARLON BRANDO will be the site of the Brando, an eco-resort set to open in 2008. But these won't be the only suites aligned with a star.

ROBERT DE NIRO is backing a six-story luxury hotel due to open in 2006. It's his gift to post-9/11 downtown Manhattanand maybe a way to keep visiting L.A. actors off his sofa.

DORIS DAY'S Mediterranean-style Cypress Inn in Carmel, Calif., reflects the actress's animal activism with pet-friendly policies--dog biscuits are available at the front desk.

BONO and the Edge of U2 just got permission to expand the Clarence in Dublin. The rockers' 150-year-old boutique hotel is best known for--quite naturally--its pub.

MICHAEL DOUGLAS spent his summers in Bermuda as a child. His tony Ariel Sands resort there offers pools, tennis and a chance to see Catherine Zeta-Jones in a bikini.
